The film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, also features Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, and Ramy Youssef. The character of Bella, who has a child's mind transplanted into an adult's body, has sparked controversy due to the explicit sexual content and nudity depicted in the movie.

Stone emerged victorious in a competitive field that featured strong contenders such as Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon, Sandra Hüller for Anatomy of a Fall, and Carey Mulligan for Maestro. This win marks Stone's second triumph in the best actress category, following her previous win in 2017 for La La Land. Despite being nominated twice before for best supporting actress, for Birdman in 2015 and The Favourite in 2019, she did not secure a win on those occasions.

Emma Stone had already achieved numerous accolades for her performance in Poor Things, such as the prestigious Bafta award for best actress and the esteemed Golden Globe for best female actor in a musical or comedy. With her second Oscar win, she now stands alongside esteemed actresses like Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, and Jodie Foster as a two-time recipient of the best actress Oscar.

She started by saying, "My dress has been damaged. I believe it occurred while I was at the 'I'm Just Ken' event."

Stone, clearly emotional, expressed her admiration for her primary competitor, Gladstone, stating that she was deeply impressed by her. She conveyed her gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside her and expressed her desire to continue collaborating in the future.

She concluded by expressing gratitude to the team responsible for Poor Things, which includes Yorgos Lanthimos. She sincerely thanked them for bestowing upon her the extraordinary opportunity to portray Bella, a role that will forever remain a cherished gift in her life.

Stone expressed her gratitude to her parents and brother, as well as her husband and daughter, who will soon be turning three years old and has brought so much joy into their lives. She professed her love for them, comparing it to the vastness of the sky.
